“A new journey for Fishes”. It is with great pleasure that Fishes has received its first Impact Factor, which has just been announced in the 2020 edition of the Journal Citation Reports®. The Impact Factor is 2.385, ranking Q2 in Categories, “Fisheries” and “Marine & Freshwater Biology”.

The new journal, Fishes was released in 2016 [1]. It has received continuous support from the scientific community through submissions of high-quality papers and from the extraordinary work performed by its authors, reviewers, editorial board, editorial office staff and the publisher. In 2021, coverage by the flagship citation index, the Science Citation Index Expanded by Clarivate Analytics, and now, the release of the first official Impact Factor represents another major milestone for our journal following indexing and full coverage by Scopus in 2019. We believe this will further increase the visibility of Fishes in the scientific community.

Fishes (ISSN 2410-3888) is an international, multidisciplinary, open access journal with a main focus on reports of original research, and critical reviews and synthesis from the broad area of fishes and aquatic life sciences. The ultimate objective of Fishes is to facilitate the discovery of connections between research areas, advancing science and filling knowledge gaps, and providing solutions for all present and future issues encountered in the sector of aquatic life sciences. We are pleased to welcome you as one of our authors.
